MS has spent vast amounts of resources pushing C# and .net as hard as
they can. It's not surprising that VS has very good C# support.
But C# is a minor niche language in the sort of environments where Emacs
is most popular. Given relatively limited resources for Emacs
development, and the unpopularity of C#, it's hardly surprising that
Emacs C# support is less good....
